== Circuit Circuits (tours) ==
Eight circuits cross the Ankarana National Park. Starting point for each circuit is the main office at Mahamasina. It is possible to combine several circuits for one visit.
'''The cave of the bats'''
2- to 3-hour trek, including a stiff slope, to an underground cave with 8 species of bats from small to large size. It is possible to see some lemurs such as Crowned lemur, Sanford's lemur and Northern sportive lemur. If lucky, one can see a Ring-tailed mongoose and even a Fossa.
'''Loss of rivers'''
1- to 2-hour trek, suitable for combining with other circuits. Great views over the Ankarana landscape from the Ampasambazaha viewpoint. The track crosses a baobab forest, very close to the Ampondrabe river. The circuit ends at a big gulf (loss of rivers) where the three Ankarana rivers flow away (especially spectacular after lots of rain). Along the track it is possible to observe animals such as ''Brookesia'' ([[Leaf Chameleon]]), Crowned lemur, Sanford's lemur and Northern sportive lemur as well as birds such as the rare [[Dronge]] and [[Magpie-robin]].
'''Tsing Meva'''
